    What's the best option for using websockets with Python? WSGI doesn't support it ( http://librelist.com/browser//flask/2010/9/1/flask-and-webso... ). gevent is an option ( http://blog.pythonisito.com/2011/07/gevent-zeromq-websockets... ), but would something like Mongrel2 be better ( http://mongrel2.org/ )? UPDATE: There's also Juggernaut ( http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/80/ ), which uses node.js under the hood.

    Locking in particular has improved substantially since 1.6. For example, 2.0 introduced yielding in some cases where MongoDB would go to disk rather than page-faulting with the lock held[1]. This has been extended and improved for 2.2, along with increasing the granularity of the lock from process-wide to per-db. There are plans to increase the granularity further in future releases. [1] To see an example of the dif…

    Which they will tell you doesn't matter as their ease of sharding means you should scale by going to multiple machines not getting one super huge database server. Also in practice the limiter is not the global write lock but page faults that cause the largest performance impacts. [1] 1: http://blog.pythonisito.com/2011/12/mongodbs-write-lock.html
